(CBS/AP) NEW YORK - Lakers guard Steve Blake and his wife have been attacked online since he missed a possible game-winning 3-pointer against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 2 of their Western Conference semifinal.

The Twitter accounts of Blake and his wife, Kristen, were deluged with a range of criticism after the loss Wednesday night.

"It's pretty disappointing that there are a lot of hateful people out there, but you move on," Blake said, according to Dave McMenamin at ESPN Los Angeles. "I just don't appreciate it when it's toward my family. You can come at me all you want but when you say things about my wife and my kids, that makes me upset."
